Georgi started cooking when he was 19. No one actually believed that he would be able to make a living by cooking for the others.... Well, Georgi decided to proved them all wrong. Ambitious beyond all imagination, and stubborn as well, Chef Valchev at the age of 22 flew to New York and then to Burlington VT to work as a cook on shoreline boat, Lake Champlain. With four years of experience under his belt, Georgi was first to attract with skills and efficiency. The experience was irreplaceable and he learnt so much in the States. In Cyprus, Georgi worked for number of five stars hotels such as Amathus Beach hotel, Four Seasons, Le Meridien and four stars Atlantica Beach Hotel. Being a Sous Chef in Italian restaurant Olivo Manzalino helped develop him the sense of creativity and passion for all Mediterranean herbs and ingredients Georgi started his time in the United Kingdom in Northern Ireland being Chef de Partie in Ramada. He then moved to England and worked for British Brasseries, Gastro Pubs, Rosette Restaurants, Golf Clubs, Hilton, Radisson, Best Western. Banqueting for Aston Vila, Derby County, Store City FC and private parties.

I am professional chef with 25 years of experience. I have started my journey in my hometown: Krakow, Poland at the age of 15. After finishing 4 year of culinary art college, I gained experience working in top restaurants. At the age of 23, I left Poland and moved to Jersey in Channel Island where I gained classic French style coking. In 2008 I moved to UK and since then, I have been working in various high-end restaurants and gastropubs in Oxford, Warwick and Leamington Spa. Recently I quit my full time job to focus on setting up my Catering business and delivering high quality services across Midlands and Warwickshire.
Jakub was so charming, so polite and lovely to be around. The food was incredible, so delicious! He cleared up everything and left the kitchen as he found it. Would definitely recommend and use again!
Mario started his career as a chef from leaving school, working in hotels and restaurants. Following this he has gained a wide variety of knowledge working in various countries around Europe, even running his own restaurant. Since moving to the UK, he has had a great experience working as a chef. He has a strong passion for cooking with good fresh ingredients and loves to cook many different international dishes.
Excellent service from start to finish, including prompt communication and providing vegan options too. Thanks to Marian & his team for a brilliant evening.
Born in a rural village, Eugen grew up eating fresh produce straight from the vegetable garden, as well as fresh milk, butter and jam made from homegrown fruits and flowers. After graduating at the age of 17 with a real passion for cooking, Eugen began a challenging journey, gathering experiences in Spain, Cyprus and France. His culinary skills reflect the variety of these experiences, as does his open-minded personality. From Mediterranean to Japanese teppanyaki or sushi, from a simple brunch to an exquisite dinner, his 25 year career working in restaurants and creating a variety of menus has left him well equipped to create a perfect meal for you.
Really excellent food. Eugene plus two waiting staff turned up exactly when they said they would, were remarkably quick in preparing everything and served us a really excellent meal. They left the kitchen clean and tidy. Would highly recommend.
